How to Sign a Contract with an Electronic Signature, QR eGov, SMS in Documentolog Services

Why waste time on paperwork and in-person meetings when you can sign a contract online in just a few minutes? The electronic document management service Documentolog will help you abandon outdated paper processes and organize document exchange in a convenient and legitimate format. 

With Documentolog, you can sign documents from anywhere in the world using three types of signatures – Electronic Digital Signature (EDS), QR eGov, and SMS. 

Signing with EDS: the most popular method in Kazakhstan

An Electronic Digital Signature (EDS) is one of the most common ways to sign documents online in our country. The electronic digital signature provides a high level of security, as the document is signed with a unique key that is only accessible to the EDS owner. 

EDS is issued by the National Certification Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NCC). You can obtain or renew your EDS either remotely online or in any Public Service Center (PSC) with a personal visit.

Moreover, EDS can be issued to an individual signing documents in their own name, or to an individual as an employee of a company with or without signing authority for the approval of internal documents only.

EDS is fully equivalent to a handwritten signature. The use of EDS guarantees the legal force of the document (paragraph 1 of Article 10 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated January 7, 2003 No. 370 "On Electronic Document and Electronic Digital Signature"). 

To sign a document in the Documentolog service, the user simply needs to upload the EDS file in the appropriate field and enter the EDS password. 

Signing with QR eGov: even faster and more convenient

This method of signing documents offers a simple and secure electronic signature method that allows users to sign legally binding documents using their mobile phone. 

The process of signing via QR code is simple and intuitive. In this case, the user selects the signing method in the system, scans the QR code, and enters their eGov credentials. 

Signing via QR eGov takes just a few minutes. This method fully guarantees the security of data and signatures. Authorization occurs through the state portal eGov, which ensures data protection and user identity verification.

SMS Code: a quick way to sign a contract

Today, signing contracts has become easier than ever. Every year, newer and more modern methods of signing emerge. Signing via SMS is one of the newest, fastest, and most convenient ways. All you need to sign is a mobile phone.

The signing occurs through a one-time code sent to the mobile phone. The user enters this code to confirm their identity and signature. Verification of the signer’s information occurs through the Mobile Citizens Database. 

This method is excellent for individuals and small businesses when there is a need to quickly and easily sign a contract or another legally significant document. SMS signing guarantees reliability and legal force without requiring complex technical means or the installation of additional applications.

At the same time, SMS signing is well-suited for signing simple contracts, offers, and other documents where the performer is an individual. Signing financial documents via SMS is not yet recognized as legitimate. 

So, we have told you about all three of the most reliable ways to sign documents through the Documentolog platform. Use convenient and modern document exchange formats to speed up your business processes and always stay one step ahead. Moreover, you can start using the electronic document management system and sign a contract online for free immediately after registering on the website Documentolog.
